LONDON - "Blade Runner" Oscar Pistorius said on Thursday he aims to compete in both the Olympic and Paralympic Games in London next year following his medal-winning debut at the World Athletics Championships.
The 24-year-old won a silver medal on Friday for his part in helping South Africa to reach the 4x400m relay final in Daegu and is now targeting further success at both Games in 2012.
He dismissed concerns that he would not be able to train and peak for both events, which are just over two weeks apart.
